SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

Security freezes for protected consumers. Provides that sufficient proof of authority for a person to place a security freeze for a protected consumer includes a birth certification or a written, notarized statement signed by a representative that expressly describes the authority of the representative to act on behalf of the protected consumer.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Security freezes for protected consumers. Raises the age of eligibility for someone to qualify as a "protected consumer" from 16 to 18. The measure also clarifies that if the protected consumer is under age 18 sufficient proof of authority may be a birth certificate and if the protected consumer is an incapacitated person for whom a guardian or conservator has been appointed sufficient proof of authority may be a court order.
